Depressed Partner

    Hi all.

    As the title states my Partner of 15 months is going through a hard time. I knew from day 1 that she suffered from depression and that she is on medication for it. But it's only in the last month that it has turned brutal.

    I cannot do anything right or say anything right. She wanted a break, then didn't. And we broke up again last week. I love her and i know she loves me. It really was a fantastic relationship up until now. I'm so confused. She's just so mean and cold to me and i really am struggling with it all. We are at the stage now of not texting and i hate not being able to help her. She is going to counselling and is on medication, although i think it needs to be upped as she lowered it earlier this year.

    I think i need to leave her be for now but i was wondering what do ye think about how much time? Should i leave her alone until the end of January and then check in and see how she's doing? All i'm getting is 1 word answers anyway. She has kids so at least she won't be all on her own. Any advice appreciated.

    I dont have much experience with this, but shes lucky to have you OP it sounds like youre dealing with it very well and its great that you arent taking her being that way badly, and know that she is acting like that because of her illness. All the best, hope it works out

    Thanks very much for the reply. I was taking it very personal at the start but realised it's not her. It's the illness. I think it's the best way for me to cope with everything too. Thanks for the kind words.
